I had invited two Edinburgh-based Estonian friends - Maarika and Merilin - for dinner last night and I was craving fish. Luckily girls didn't mind fish. My usual 'casual dinner with friends' fish dish is an oriental salmon with honey, soya, mustard and ginger, but this time I was craving something far more subtle and more summery (not sure why, but honey-ginger combo seems a bit wintry to me?). And something that would be simple to make.

Michele of Oswego Tea mused recently about why it is good to eat rosemary (my memory fails me why exactly:) I remembered this thou when looking for a new way to spice up some nice salmon fillets I bought in the morning from my favourite fishmonger, Eddie's Seafood Market in Marchmont, Edinburgh. I finally chose this simple recipe for Apelsin- och rosmarinlax from the Swedish dairy conglomerate Arla.
